Rapping up the month
It is true, cars are short in the mid-west, if they are cheap, and nice, and low miles, and good Car Fax, and so on and on and on. But high price, wrong color, paint work, no gear…forget about it. Cars aren’t that scarce. Nobody home. I can sell 2,000 cars under $10,000 under 80,000 miles this afternoon. But them muddy suckers with 49K and it’s a $40,000 car, not so simple. Thank God that he watches over high mileage Irishman. Old worn out wholesaler with eleven million miles on him. Been clocked a half dozen times, frame damage in the core, and running with a battery connection that is a bit loose. That’s me.
He watches out for me because week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade, he shines a light that leads me to the largest volume of cars, the right cars, that the world can’t find, than can be bought and sold in North America. With the next two days in, I going to sell 4,000 units this month, $80,000,000 in rev…for the month.
The stuff we have line up for the next two days should be illegal. I am half embarrassed. I look at auctions in every corner of the country and ain’t nobody got a smidgen of what we have in the 17545 Thurs, Friday.
First, I want to again make all simulcast participants understand that I don’t take this lightly. When I tell you “No Fear” the words mean No Fear. Not no fear with fine print, on a Sunday between six and seven if it is snowing on the forth of July and Jesus needs to be driving the unit at the time of the sale. No, No , No. Listen very careful. It means no cotton picking fear.
There are many impersonators in my world. Folks looking to walk the walk and talk the talk. Talk is simple, execution causes agida. Being a cowboy is interestingHere’s where blabber and fact, twisting and turning and standing with feet set in granite, get separated. You buy something from me and feel like you got shmeeked, call me straight, not the auction. I promise you, you are getting right. See if you get that guarantee from a “rep” service very happy to act like they are real, but break down and get revealed when there’s any kind of an issue. Trust Daddy-O. It has cost me millions to develop. I value it more than profit.
That’s why we have over 1,000 dealers logged into our lanes on a given day on Simulcast. Attendance at the sale is less and less. Attendance on Simulcast is rocketing. I love it. Trust is the only thing that makes it happen. You have proven your trust in me…I honor it. Thank you to every one of you folks, in Memphis and Minneapolis, and Los Angles, And Houston, and Dallas, and Moscow, and Lagos, and Atlanta, and in Louisville, and in Portland and in Seattle, and in Toronto and so on and so on. Without out our merch, you wouldn’t be here. But, without you being there, I couldn’t be here. I Love This Mess. Who would imagine this scenario 10 years ago?
Once again I got 800 trades on the block this week. I am going to sell them all. I kiss Butt, fist fight, sweat talk, back talk, promise things I shouldn’t, pay too much, kiss more rear ends to get these 800 here for you every week. NOW, Pay attention and dig in. It’s Showtime.
